French term or phrase: sous butte
I am translating an induction document for a biomolecular engineering lab and am stuck on the term "sous butte" which is a location for storing solvents:
Les produits chimiques sont stockés dans des armoires dédiées dont certaines sont ventilées. Une partie des solvants est stockée dans le *local sous butte *: seul le personnel permanent est habilité à s'y rendre.

I would be grateful for any help.

Explanation:
might be completely wrong on this but still worth a try:

All non-gardening "sous butte" references seem to point to Nancy University. Here they present a dossier about storage (problems) "sous butte" and elsewhere – does that help at all?
